are you saying you hooked up TWO amps to the oem wires and not RCA preouts? THAT would be your problem!

Are you talking about signal from your radio, or from your CD? If it's the radio, then I would check the antanne hokup on the back, if not, there are a few items that help boost radio reseption. If it's from your CD's then I would suggest rewiring the back of the head unit. Always remember yo run the RCA cables and speaker cables about 12" away from ANY power wires, that can introduce noise into your music. If neither of this helps, you need to elaborate on the problem so we can help. Hope this fixes it for ya tho.

bad grounds to the amp. Turn your bass completely off (so you can only hear out of your 4 speakers) when your amps are hooked up. See if the signal still sucks. If it doesn't it is the amps ground. If it does suck, then I'm at a complete loss. I would try rewiring the system. BTW what type of system are you running? (i.e. head unit, speakers, amp, subs)
